Right now, combined operations isn't working properly, and as far as I can tell, that's my only problem. You see, I got ArmA 2 for free during a giveaway promotion bonanza (lucky me right?), and I eventually decide to get OA on steam, and this is where it starts to go South. I can never actually get the copy of OA on steam to interface properly with retail ArmA 2, but in the process, locked it in as one of OAs expansions. So I decide to grab a copy of ArmA 2 off of Steam, figuring this would fix the problem right? Wrong. As you can see here, http://i.imgur.com/EMKgC.png OA isn't detecting the Steam copy of ArmA 2, only where the old copy used to be, and I can't change what expansions are on that list for some reason. So in effect, OA thinks that ArmA 2 is someplace it isn't, and the menu won't let me change the settings.

Yep, it was one of the first things I suspected, until I took a closer look at that expansions menu. Right now, I suspect my best bet would be in finding a way to edit that damn menu.

I actually looked into that, as prior to a certain update, you had to manually connect ArmA II and OA to enable Combined Ops. However, after taking the advice of this guide here http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?101214-ARMA-2-CO-(how-to-combine-ARMA-2-into-ARMA-2-OA-and-use-together) , I ran into a significant wall, the registry entries didn't exist, or at least not where I was told to look. Other than that, that was my best bet.

I'm having the same problem, did you buy ArmA 2 and OA as a bundle?

Hello, though I haven't been able to get the mod working (yet) I've got plenty of ArmA II experience. You guys mind if I tag along with your group, and discuss my "credentials" in more detail over vent?

I'll tell you what, the only way to stop that kinda train, is with knee caps. Or the loss of them.

Unfortunately, it's a little broken at the moment, and self defense (except against recognized bandits) isn't seen by the server as legitimate.

I've got a problem, when I start the game as combined operations, I still get the deleted.chernarus error. The thing is, I've run combined operations before, with a steam version of OA, and a free retail copy of ARMA 2. To try and get this working, I bought a copy of ARMA2 on steam, but it still won't function. Any ideas? Edit, it turns out that after looking closely at my OA expansions list, it listed the old retail copy of ArmA 2, and not the steam version, and I had deleted the old copy to try and remove unknown variables. Figures. When OA finishes downloading in the morning, I'll post an update. edit mk2, Alright, so uninstalling the game, and reinstalling it didn't work, and it still won't let me edit the parameters. any ideas? http://i.imgur.com/EMKgC.png
